How long does it take to get my passport photo?

Your passport photo is processed in about 30 seconds after upload. Once payment is complete, you can download your digital photo and printable sheet instantly.

What file format will I receive?

You receive two files: a 2x2 inch digital passport photo in PNG format (600x600 pixels at 300 DPI) and a 4x6 inch printable sheet in JPG format with six passport photos arranged in a 2x3 grid.

Will my photo be accepted by the US State Department?

Yes. Our advanced processing adjusts your photo to meet all US State Department requirements including proper dimensions (2x2 inches), white background, correct head sizing (1 to 1⅜ inches), and proper eye height. If your photo is rejected, we offer a full money-back guarantee.

What do I get with my passport photo package?

Your package includes both the 2x2 inch digital photo and the 4x6 inch printable sheet with six photos. No subscriptions required.

Can I use my phone camera?

Absolutely. A modern smartphone camera works great for passport photos. Just make sure you have good, even lighting and a plain background. We handle the rest — background removal, cropping, and sizing.

What if I'm not satisfied with the result?

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If your passport photo is rejected by the US State Department or you're not satisfied with the quality, contact us for a full refund.

Where can I print my passport photo?

You can print the 4x6 inch printable sheet at any pharmacy (CVS, Walgreens), office supply store, or home printer. The sheet is formatted for standard 4x6 photo printing and includes six passport photos.

Is my photo stored securely?

Yes. Your photos are stored on encrypted servers and automatically deleted within 72 hours. We never share your photos with third parties or use them for any purpose other than processing your passport photo.

What are the US passport photo requirements?

US passport photos must be 2x2 inches (51x51 mm), have a white background, show your full face in front view with a neutral expression, and be taken within the last 6 months. Head height must be between 1 and 1⅜ inches. No glasses or headwear (with religious exceptions).

How is this different from CVS or Walgreens passport photos?

Unlike pharmacy photo counters, you get instant results from home without waiting in line, unlimited retakes before payment, and both digital and print-ready files. Plus, you keep the digital copy for online passport applications.

Do I need a digital photo or a printed photo for my passport application?

For online passport renewal, you need the digital 2x2 inch photo (we provide this as a PNG). For in-person applications or mail-in renewals, you need a printed photo — use our 4x6 printable sheet at any photo printer. We provide both formats.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay through our secure Stripe payment processing.
